(Recommended reading: "Chen Xunpress, what do you think of this defeat?"

Under the gaze of everyone at the scene, Li Hongyu pondered for a while, and quietly asked a middle-aged man with a Chinese character face wearing a seventh-grade official robe at the scene.

This person was Chen Wangting, the imperial governor of Liaodong, and also participated in the formulation of the military plan of the Later Jin army.

Although Li Hongyu had never seen Chen Wangting, he still recognized Chen Wangting at a glance from his official uniform, because Chen Wangting was a civil official of Zhengqipin in the lobby.

"Lord Governor, after the oath, he ordered Juniper and other commanders to be serious, but Juniper advanced in advance, and he lost one; rigid for self-use, it loses two; The team is out of order, struck by a thief, and loses three; ”

Chen Wangting knew that he would definitely not be able to hide, so after a little contemplation, he looked up at Li Hongyu and said in an orderly manner:

"Capture Yi Kezhai, without a sentry, so that the thief is lurking, and he is lured and does not know, and he loses four; The generals are not accustomed to fighting, and they lose five; The light cavalry went deep, abandoning the firearms and chariots, and the division had no old battalion, and it lost six. Wisdom could not anticipate the enemy, and the strategy could not control the crowd, resulting in more than 20,000 officers and troops being defeated for a while. ”

"As for the Northern Route Army, it was initially sent to attack from Sancha'erbao, but Ma Lin insisted on attacking from Jing'an, and in the end it was attacked from Sancha'erbao again and again, resulting in the Northern Route Army not arriving when the Western Route Army clashed with the enemy, and in the end, Jianzhou rebelled and took advantage of the victory to drive north, and Ma Lin was unaware of it, so that the army was defeated."

As he spoke, Chen Wangting bowed his hand to Li Hongyu and said in a deep voice, "Ma Lin escaped from the battle, the crime is unforgivable!" ”

After Li Hongyu heard this, he bowed slightly to Chen Wangting, his brows furrowed slightly, Chen Wangting also blamed Juniper and Marin, the reason was more detailed than Yang Hao, and he even listed six major crimes for Juniper, which shows his hatred for Juniper.

However, Juniper had already died in battle, and Marin was now back in Kaiyuan City, separated by the Houjin Army, so it was quite impractical to find two people to ask for the guilt.

As far as Li Hongyu knew, Ma Lin was later killed in the battle between Kaiyuan City and the Houjin Army, which could be regarded as saving his reputation and not being regarded as a coward by the world.

"Master Li, what do you think?"

Then, Li Hongyu turned his head to look at a middle-aged man wearing a seventh-grade official uniform sitting opposite Chen Wangting, and asked quietly.

The person who can sit on an equal footing with Chen Wangting, the patrol of the imperial history, is naturally not an idle person, this person is the supervisor of the Liaodong War, and Li Wentao is in the matter.

It is worth mentioning that since Emperor Jiajing, until the early period of the Apocalypse, the supervisors sent by the imperial court to various places were basically served by Yanguan.

After Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, he also let the officials supervise the army and removed the tax supervisor, but within a few years, Emperor Chongzhen re-used the eunuchs as the military supervisors and tax supervisors, and the reason is self-evident, Emperor Chongzhen is using eunuchs to balance civil officials.

It's ridiculous to say that Emperor Chongzhen hated eunuchs under the influence of the Donglin Party and almost killed Wei Zhongxian.

But as a result, Emperor Chongzhen had to use the eunuchs he looked down on before to do things, and a few days before his death, he also had Wei Zhongxian's bones collected, which was really embarrassing.

"Your Excellency, the lower officials agree with what Yang Jingluo and Chen Xun said, and Juniper and Marin are unforgivable."

Chen Wangting hesitated for a moment, and then solemnly said to Li Hongyu that as a prisoner, he could not escape the blame, although Emperor Wanli did not condemn him now, but it was obvious that he would be impeached by the officials in the court, so he only had to shirk his responsibility.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Juniper and Marin are certainly guilty, but in just five days, my three-way army has been wiped out, and this is definitely not the responsibility of the two of them."

After listening to Chen Wangting's words, Li Hongyu pondered for a while, then raised his head and glanced around at the scene, and said with a serious expression, "Of course, there are many factors for this defeat, but there are three points that are very important in the eyes of this governor. ”

"The fault of the Liao affair, unexpectedly, the situation of the other, the loss of the teacher and the humiliation of the country, the mistake is in the strategy; If you don't know how to advance and stop, you will immediately urge the war, and you will be in the auxiliary ministers; The dispatch is not heard, helpless, and mistakenly in the pivot. ”

As he spoke, Li Hongyu's face sank, and he said coldly, "With these three mistakes, how can our army talk about victory?" ”

Hearing this, everyone at the scene was shocked, never expected Li Hongyu's words to be so sharp, not only pointing out Yang Hao's culpability, but also condemning the officials of the imperial court who urged the war, and attacking the military command system of Liaodong together.

Yang Hao's face became very ugly in an instant, and the "scripture" in Li Hongyu's mouth obviously refers to him, and the three points listed by Li Hongyu are all related to him.

First of all, Yang Hao did not understand the distribution of the forces of the Later Jin army, nor did he know the advantages and disadvantages of the Later Jin army, which put the Ming army at a disadvantage when facing the cavalry and infantry of the Later Jin army.

Secondly, Yang Hao failed to withstand the pressure from the courtiers and had to launch a campaign against the Houjin in advance, resulting in extremely unfavorable weather for the Ming army.

In the end, although Yang Hao formulated a battle plan for the four-way attack, he did not arrange the route and time of the march in detail, and the command was not smooth after the battle, so that the Houjin army seized the opportunity.

It is rumored that Juniper was opposed to sending troops in winter and spring, believing that it would be a good strategy to wait until the ice and snow melted, but Yang Ho was forced to fight with Shang Fang's sword.

Although Yang Hao's four-way attack was not wrong in terms of tactics, it was a belligerent method to destroy Hou Jin, otherwise the imperial court would not approve his battle plan.

But Yang Hao's mistake was that he chose the wrong time to go on the expedition, neither did he find out the enemy's situation, nor did he fail to reorganize the troops, coupled with the damn wind and snow weather, which led to the fiasco of the three-way army.

"Sure enough, he deserves to be the champion of the new department!"

When everyone at the scene looked at each other, Zhou Yongchun couldn't help but secretly praise himself in his heart, no wonder Emperor Wanli would send Li Hongyu to Liaodong as a governor, Li Hongyu pointed out the reason for the failure of the Ming army in the battle of Sarhu.

Indeed, Yang Hao, the main responsibility for the defeat of the Battle of Salhu, was to bear the main responsibility, and as the commander of Liaodong, his failure to control the overall situation was already a dereliction of duty.

"Lord Yang, although the official's words are excessive, he has no personal grudges against the adults."

In silence, Li Hongyu broke the calm of the scene, stood up and bowed to Yang Hao, who had an ugly face, and said, "Lord Yang is also concerned about the imperial court, and wants to exterminate the rebellion in Jianzhou as soon as possible, but the time and place are not in my favor, and the army of Liaodong comes from the north and south of the river, and the communication between them is not smooth, and if you lose people, not to mention your lordship, even if any adult in the court comes here, you will definitely be defeated this time." ”

"However, the Lord is the commander of the Liaodong Economic Strategy and the Liaodong Official Army, and the victory and defeat are tied to honor and disgrace, so the responsibility for this defeat must be borne by the Lord."

As he spoke, Li Hongyu suddenly changed his voice and said solemnly, "According to this official, the reason for the defeat of the battle of Salhu is not in Liaodong but in the capital, if the Ming treasury is full, then the adults will not rush to the battle, so the main culprit of this defeat is the lack of military salaries, which has nothing to do with adults, and is not something that adults consider." ”

"Governor Xie."

Yang Hao's face suddenly softened when he heard this, he thought that Li Hongyu, who was sharp-tongued, wanted to condemn him in the well, but in the end he was exculpating him, which made his mood suddenly become extremely complicated, and then he got up and bowed back to Li Hongyu, and his words seemed a little excited.

At this moment, Yang Hao knew very well that once the news of the defeat in the Battle of Sarhu reached the capital, he would definitely be impeached by countless officials, and if Li Hongyu, as the new governor of Liaodong, could help him say a fair word, then his fate would change.

The Liaodong officials at the scene also breathed a sigh of relief, and after a long time, Li Hongyu had no intention of holding the army responsible for the defeat, which made everyone secretly feel at ease.

Zhou Yongchun secretly bowed his head, it seems that he did despise Li Hongyu before, don't look at Li Hongyu young but old, just a photo made the Liaodong officials on the scene feel awe.

Just when the tense and depressing atmosphere at the scene gradually dissipated, a noisy sound suddenly came from outside the gate of the Yamen of the Liaodong Metropolitan Division, as if there were many disputes, which immediately attracted the attention of the people in the lobby.

"Your Excellency, there are soldiers who want to break into the Yamen of the Metropolitan Division." Soon, a military attache with a Shaanxi-Gansu accent walked in quickly, and said to Li Hongyu, who was obviously brought by Li Hongyu from Shanhaiguan.

"Lord Governor, this official didn't know that your lord was coming, so he sent soldiers to guard." At this time, Zhou Yongchun stood up and said to Li Hongyu with some embarrassment.

It turned out that in the face of the cavalry that surrounded the Dusi Yamen, Yang Hao, Zhou Yongchun and others, who were discussing the Dusi Yamen, did not know who was coming, so for the sake of safety, they transferred the troops in the city to check. “

As he spoke, Zhou Yongchun arched his hand to Li Hongyu and left in a hurry, the noise outside the gate stopped, and the troops who came to support returned to the camp under Zhou Yongchun's order.

"Lord Yang, is General Li stationed in Qinghe Fort?" Seeing this, Li Hongyu asked Yang Hao in a deep voice, and the general soldier Li in his mouth naturally referred to Li Rubai, the commander of the Ming Army on the Southwest Road.

"Your Excellency Governor, General Li is indeed in Qinghe Fort, if you have something to inquire about, you can pass him on." Yang Hao already had a lot of good feelings for Li Hongyu at this time, and after nodding after hearing this, he said, to be honest, there are too few officials with responsibility and courage like Li Hongyu now.

"No, this official is going to go to Qinghe Fort in person." Li Hongyu waved his hand, and then asked, "Lord Yang, how many cavalry are there in Liaoyang?" ”

"The Governor wants to go to Qinghe Fort in person?" Hearing this, Yang Hao was slightly stunned, and then hurriedly said, "Lord Governor, Qinghe Fort is the front line of our army's rebellious confrontation with Jianzhou, and your lord is the head of the hundred officials in Liaodong, so don't risk yourself." ”

"Lord Governor, let's let Li Rubai come to Liaoyang." Chen Wangting and the others also opened their mouths to persuade when they heard this, after all, Li Hongyu is now the person with the highest official position in Liaodong.

After Li Hongyu's previous grace and power, Chen Wangting and other officials in Liaodong did not dare to despise the young Li Hongyu anymore, it was obvious that Li Hongyu was not an idle person, otherwise he would not have said the words that made everyone tremble just now.

"Your kindness is appreciated by the official, and the official is just to stand up for Lord Xiong, so there are some things that must be done now." Li Hongyu couldn't help laughing when he heard this, looked at Zhou Yongchun who entered the door and said, "This official is not clear about the affairs of Liaodong when he first arrives, and it is very reassuring to have Lord Zhou in charge. ”

"Lord Governor, this move must not be done, Qinghe Fort is in chaos now, and it is too risky for Lord Governor to go." Zhou Yongchun didn't know what was going on, and when he learned that Li Hongyu was going to Qinghe Fort, he hurriedly opened his mouth to stop it, in case Li Hongyu had a good one, how would they explain to Emperor Wanli?

"This official has made up his mind, don't persuade you again." Li Hongyu smiled slightly when he heard this, then bowed his hand to everyone at the scene, and said in a deep voice, "This official will leave tomorrow, I hope you will perform your duties and tide over the difficulties together!" ”

Yang Hao, Zhou Yongchun and others couldn't help but look at each other, and then bowed back to Li Hongyu, with a helpless wry smile on the corner of his mouth, Li Hongyu is the governor of Liaodong, once they decide something, they can't change it and can only obey it.

To tell the truth, these officials in Liaodong did not know Li Hongyu's intention to insist on going to Qinghe Fort, in their opinion, Li Hongyu's decision was a bit too child's play, you must know that the Ming army in Qinghe Fort was a defeated army, and now the morale is low, and the city defense of Qinghe Fort is not as strong as Kaiyuan and Tieling, in case the Jin army attacks, the situation is dangerous.

Of course, Li Hongyu will not tell his plan now, otherwise he will definitely be obstructed by Yang Hao, Zhou Yongchun and others, and will not let him take risks, and the plan is also very easy to leak out, after all, there are many Jurchen spies in Liaodong, and he has to guard against it.
